Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of automated production technology of electronic components, and in particular to a receiving mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] On fully automated production, testing, and sorting lines for precision electronic components such as connectors, semiconductor lead frames, and micro-motor rotors, products are typically formed by high-speed precision die stamping or picked up by high-speed insertion machines and precisely arranged on continuous plastic or metal carrier tapes for transport, forming "material strips." After completing processes such as stamping, electroplating, testing, and sorting, these material strips carrying products or waste need to be neatly and quickly recycled into rolls for unified transportation, storage, or environmentally friendly disposal. Currently, most standard material recycling mechanisms can only perform the winding and recycling function for single material strips. However, as electronic products develop towards miniaturization and high density, the parts carried on the material strips (such as precision terminals and micro-connectors) often have sharp leads, delicate contact points, or fragile three-dimensional structures. During high-speed winding, parts on adjacent layers of material strips may directly contact, rub, or even interlock, easily leading to product lead deformation, scratches on the electroplated layer or functional surfaces, and damage to precision structures. This will not only cause direct product scrapping and yield loss, but if defective products flow into subsequent stages, it may also cause more serious reliability problems of end products.

[0003] To address the damage caused by direct contact between the material strips, one industry improvement involves introducing a flexible protective paper strip (or plastic film strip) during winding, placing it between adjacent material strips to form a physical isolation layer. While this solution is theoretically feasible, existing "material strip-paper strip" composite winding equipment suffers from significant defects in its mechanical structure design and integration, severely limiting its efficiency and reliability in actual production applications. These structural defects are mainly manifested in: functional coupling and prominent efficiency bottlenecks: Existing equipment typically rigidly integrates paper strip unwinding, conveying, and material strip winding functions into an inseparable unit. When a single production line needs to simultaneously produce or process multiple rolls of material (e.g., parallel production with multi-cavity molds, or sorting of multiple product varieties on a single line), this can only be achieved by connecting multiple independent units in series. This approach results in lengthy production lines, huge floor space requirements, and significantly increased equipment investment costs. More importantly, each receiving unit cannot independently start, stop, or fine-tune its speed according to the real-time production rhythm. If one roll of material needs to be paused due to an anomaly (such as jamming), the rigidly coupled paper tape conveyor must also stop simultaneously, affecting the operation of other normal units. This results in poor overall production flexibility and an efficiency bottleneck. The unstable conveyor path affects lamination quality: the protective paper tape itself is thin and has limited tensile strength. Existing equipment often has a rudimentary paper tape conveyor path design, lacking effective control of paper tape tension and precise path guidance. During long-distance, multi-turn conveying, the paper tape is prone to deviation, wrinkling, or fluctuating tension. This directly leads to the inability to achieve stable and flat alignment and bonding between the paper tape and the material tape at the confluence point, resulting in poor lamination. Uneven lamination causes local bulges and inconsistent tension in the roll, not only compromising the protective effect but also potentially causing the paper tape or material tape to break during high-speed winding due to uneven stress, resulting in unplanned downtime and high maintenance costs.

[0004] It should be noted that the above content is not necessarily prior art, nor is it intended to limit the scope of patent protection of this application. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides a receiving mechanism to solve or alleviate one or more of the technical problems mentioned above.

[0006] This application provides a receiving mechanism, including:

[0007] frame;

[0008] A paper tape conveyor is mounted on the frame and includes multiple drive wheels.

[0009] A receiving section is provided on the frame, and the receiving section includes a receiving tray and a first drive motor for driving the receiving tray to rotate.

[0010] The plurality of drive wheels are used to guide the paper tape to the take-up tray; the take-up tray is configured to simultaneously receive and wind the paper tape and the paper tape from the paper tape conveyor, and to stack the paper tape and the paper tape in the winding process.

[0011] The receiving mechanism of this application integrates the paper tape conveyor and the receiving unit into the frame, and utilizes an optimized drive wheel layout to construct a stable paper tape path, achieving synchronous, flat stacking and winding of the paper tape and the material tape, effectively solving the problem of scratches caused by direct contact between adjacent layers of material tape during winding. This mechanism has the advantages of compact structure, reliable protection, stable operation, and convenient maintenance.

[0012] According to an embodiment of this application, in the receiving mechanism, at least two independent and side-by-side receiving sections are provided on the frame; each receiving section is correspondingly equipped with an independent paper tape conveying section. Thus, by setting multiple independent and parallel receiving sections and corresponding paper tape conveying sections, multi-channel synchronous or cyclical alternating receiving is achieved, which can significantly improve receiving efficiency. At the same time, each channel operates independently without interference, facilitating fault isolation and maintenance, and effectively supporting continuous production under high-volume demands.

[0013] Optionally, the frame is provided with a sliding guide rail, and the base of the receiving part slides in cooperation with the sliding guide rail, so that the receiving part can move along the first direction.

[0014] According to an embodiment of this application, in the receiving mechanism, each paper tape conveying unit is correspondingly configured with a paper tape placement unit; the paper tape placement unit includes a shaft fixed to the frame and a paper tape placement tray rotatably sleeved on the shaft, the paper tape placement tray being used to carry the roll of paper. Thus, each paper tape conveying unit is independently configured with a paper tape placement unit, and the modular structure composed of the shaft and placement tray enables independent supply and management of the paper tape source, ensuring stable unwinding and easy, quick replacement, effectively supporting multi-channel independent operation and cyclic operation modes.

[0015] According to an embodiment of this application, in the receiving mechanism, the paper tape conveying unit further includes a paper tape detector, which is fixed on the frame. The paper tape detector is used to detect the integrity of the paper tape on the paper tape conveying path between the paper tape placement tray and the receiving tray. Therefore, by adding a paper tape detector to monitor the integrity of the paper tape on the conveying path in real time, abnormalities such as paper tape breakage and depletion can be promptly warned, preventing product damage due to protective layer failure, and significantly improving the reliability of quality control and the safety of equipment operation in the receiving process.

[0016] According to an embodiment of this application, in the receiving mechanism, the plurality of transmission wheels include a first transmission wheel, a second transmission wheel, a third transmission wheel, and a fourth transmission wheel; the frame includes a frame base plate, frame side plates vertically disposed at both ends of the frame base plate, and a first crossbar connecting the top of the frame side plates; the paper tape placement part is disposed on the first crossbar; the first transmission wheel, the second transmission wheel, and the third transmission wheel are disposed on the first crossbar and located below the paper tape placement tray; the frame base plate is provided with an upwardly extending tray support, the receiving tray is rotatably supported on the tray support by bearings, and the fourth transmission wheel is disposed on the tray support and disposed near the feeding side of the receiving tray. Thus, by optimizing the frame layout, the paper tape unwinding and pre-guiding functions are integrated into the upper crossbar, and the rewinding execution function is stably arranged in the lower support, forming an efficient and stable "unwinding-guiding-rewinding" workflow. The structure features clear partitioning and a reasonable force transmission path, ensuring uniform tension and precise end-point guidance of the paper tape throughout its entire length. This is the key mechanical foundation for achieving high-quality and reliable stacked winding.

[0017] According to an embodiment of this application, in the receiving mechanism, the receiving tray includes a shaft portion and a first tray portion and a second tray portion fixedly connected to both ends of the shaft portion; the fourth drive wheel is located upstream of the first tray portion and the second tray portion, or the fourth drive wheel is located between the first tray portion and the second tray portion, with both ends of the fourth drive wheel abutting against the first tray portion and the second tray portion respectively. Thus, when the fourth drive wheel is located upstream of the tray portion, it facilitates the smooth entry of the paper tape; when the fourth drive wheel is located between and abuts against the two tray portions, it can limit the axial movement of the receiving tray, rather than preventing its overall deformation.

[0018] According to an embodiment of this application, in this take-up mechanism, the material strip and the paper strip are stacked during the winding process, including the material strip being located on the upper side of the paper strip or the material strip being located on the lower side of the paper strip; the material strip being located inside the paper strip; and the material strip including terminal material strip. Therefore, the stacking method can be flexibly configured, providing optimal isolation and protection for products such as precision terminals, and improving the winding quality.

[0019] According to an embodiment of this application, the receiving mechanism further includes a transfer section, which is located upstream of the receiving section. Thus, by adding a transfer section and placing it upstream of the receiving section, precise guidance and positioning of the material strip are achieved, ensuring the alignment accuracy and stability of the material strip and paper strip at the merging point. This provides a reliable guarantee for the subsequent lamination quality and improves the automation level and continuity of the entire receiving process.

[0020] Optionally, the material transfer unit includes: a conveyor belt, with its discharge side disposed upstream of the take-up unit; a counter for counting the terminals carried by the material strip on the conveyor belt; and a strip cutter, including a fixed blade holder fixed to the upper or lower side of the conveyor belt, and a movable blade head driven by a cylinder to move toward the fixed blade holder. Thus, the counter ensures precise control of the winding length, and the strip cutter can quickly cut at a set position, not only improving the independence of the winding unit but also significantly enhancing the efficiency and intelligence of the entire take-up process.

[0031] Existing material receiving mechanisms, when applied to precision tape recycling scenarios requiring the introduction of protective media, are limited by their inherent mechanical structure from developing towards high efficiency, high reliability, ease of maintenance, and flexible production. There is an urgent need for a completely new material receiving mechanism with fundamentally optimized structural design. This mechanism should be able to efficiently decouple and flexibly reconfigure the paper tape conveying and material tape winding functional modules, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the paper tape conveying path, and significantly improving the ease of operation and automation level of the equipment.

[0032] This application provides a technical solution for a receiving mechanism. Based on this, it provides the physical basis for achieving high-quality, wrinkle-free overlapping of the material strip and paper strip, thereby ensuring the neatness of the roll and the protection of the internal product (material strip). See below for details.

[0033] Exemplary embodiments according to this application will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these exemplary embodiments may be implemented in many different forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments set forth herein.

[0034] This application provides a receiving mechanism, including:

[0035] frame;

[0036] The paper tape conveyor is mounted on the frame and includes multiple drive wheels.

[0037] The receiving section is mounted on the frame and includes a receiving tray and a first drive motor that drives the receiving tray to rotate.

[0038] Multiple drive wheels are arranged to guide the paper tape's transport path, so that the paper tape is conveyed to the take-up tray; the take-up tray is configured to simultaneously receive and wind the paper tape and the paper tape from the paper tape conveyor, and to stack the paper tape and the paper tape during the winding process.

[0039] The receiving mechanism of this application integrates a paper tape conveying unit (including multiple drive wheels) and a receiving unit within the frame, utilizing the paper tape conveying unit's multiple drive wheels to form a paper tape transport path. This integrated design constructs a stable and unified operating platform. It fixes and optimizes the paper tape transport path from the source (unwinding point) to the confluence point (receiving tray), fundamentally avoiding paper tape deviation, shaking, and uneven tension caused by excessively long, suspended, or unfixed paths in traditional equipment. Furthermore, the stable path ensures that the paper tape can be accurately delivered to the receiving tray in a flat, pre-tensioned state. This is the physical basis for achieving high-quality, wrinkle-free layering of the material tape and paper tape, thereby guaranteeing the neatness of the roll and the protection of the internal product (material tape). The receiving tray of this application integrates the two separate or separate processes of "paper tape introduction" and "paper tape winding" into a single rotating motion (rotation of the receiving tray), completing them synchronously. This not only simplifies the operation process and improves the efficiency of material collection, but also avoids alignment errors that may occur due to step-by-step operations, ensuring the consistency of the stacking position because the stacking and winding are synchronized instantaneously. This material collection mechanism has the following advantages: 1. Compact structure and high space utilization: All functional modules (conveyor, rewinder, drive) are integrated into a single frame, significantly reducing the equipment footprint and pipeline layout compared to traditional solutions that require separate paper tape unwinders and rewinders. 2. High operational reliability and ease of maintenance: The mechanical structure is clear, the modules are well-defined, and there are few points of failure. The fixed paper tape path reduces the risk of tape breakage; the rewind section, as an independent module, is easy to disassemble, maintain, or replace the trays, improving the maintainability of the equipment. 3. Good versatility and expandability: The basic structure is clear, and by adjusting the position of the drive wheels or replacing different specifications of trays and paper tapes, it can adapt to various widths and types of tapes. At the same time, the frame also provides a convenient physical interface for the subsequent installation of tension control, correction, or detection devices.

[0040] It is worth noting that, in this application embodiment, "material strip" refers to the object being recycled and wound in the take-up mechanism. Broadly speaking, it refers to any strip-shaped carrier that needs to be wound and recycled. In some embodiments, "material strip" specifically refers to a carrier strip used in the automated production of electronic components, precision parts, etc. Various workpieces or products, such as but not limited to, terminal strips, lead frames, chips, resistors and capacitors, and micro-motor rotors, can be carried or formed on this carrier strip at preset intervals. The substrate of the material strip can be plastic (such as PC, PET), metal (such as copper alloy, stainless steel), or composite material. The structure of the material strip may include positioning holes for positioning, cavities for accommodating products, etc. One of the core functions of this application is to protectively wind up such material strips that may carry precision or fragile workpieces.

[0041] In this application, the paper tape refers to a flexible tape material that is simultaneously layered and wound with the material tape, primarily serving as an isolator, buffer, and protector. Here, "paper tape" is a functional term and is not limited to paper made from wood fibers. It encompasses various flexible insulating materials suitable for this purpose, such as antistatic kraft paper, crepe paper, PE / PP plastic film, non-woven fabric, composite material film, etc. The paper tape is typically provided in roll form (i.e., "roll paper"), and its width can be matched to the width of the material tape.

[0042] In some embodiments, the material strip and the paper strip are stacked during the winding process, with the material strip positioned on top of the paper strip. This allows the paper strip to isolate and wrap the material strip.

[0043] In some embodiments, the material strip and the paper strip are stacked during the winding process, with the material strip located below the paper strip; thus, the paper strip can isolate and wrap the material strip.

[0044] In some embodiments, the material strip is located inside the paper strip; that is, the area of ​​the paper strip is larger than the area of ​​the material strip, so that the material strip can be completely wrapped inside the paper strip.

[0045] In some embodiments, the frame is equipped with at least two independent and side-by-side receiving sections; each receiving section is equipped with an independent paper tape conveyor. Thus, by configuring at least two independent and side-by-side receiving sections and their respective independent paper tape conveyors, a continuously operating cyclic receiving system is constructed. Its core operating logic is that when the roll in one receiving section reaches a preset capacity (full), the system can quickly switch to an adjacent empty receiving section to continue receiving without requiring a complete shutdown. This structural layout brings the following significant advantages: the two independent and side-by-side receiving sections can achieve "zero-interruption" continuous operation of the production process: upstream production lines (such as stamping presses and testing machines) can maintain continuous output without periodic pauses due to waiting for roll replacements. When the currently used receiving section is full, the next ready empty receiving section can be immediately started to continue working by simply switching the tape path through the control system (or manually), achieving truly uninterrupted receiving and significantly improving the equipment utilization rate and overall output efficiency of the entire production line. Each receiving section is equipped with an independent paper tape conveyor to ensure seamless stacking quality during roll changeovers: each receiving unit has complete paper tape supply and conveying capabilities. When switching from a "full roll station" to a "new station," the paper tape at the new station can be pre-threaded and maintain standby tension. At the moment of switching, the paper tape of the new unit can immediately form a stable stack with the material tape, completely avoiding problems such as unevenness, asynchrony, or even paper tape breakage at the beginning of the stacking section that may be caused by sharing or switching paper tape sources, ensuring consistent winding quality for each roll from start to finish. Multiple independent and corresponding paper tape conveyors and receiving sections can perform preparatory work such as unloading full rolls, installing empty material trays, and pre-threading paper tape at "standby" or "full" receiving sections, without affecting the main receiving operation being carried out in another receiving section. This is equivalent to providing a parallel "time window" for necessary maintenance operations, transforming the original production downtime into background preparation time, and greatly reducing non-value-added downtime waiting. This structural design not only directly increases production capacity, but also creates maintenance windows that allow for parallel operations and optimizes production cycle time, embodying lean design for efficient and continuous production.

[0046] Optional, see Figure 1 The frame base plate 101 is equipped with a sliding guide rail, and the base of the receiving section slides in conjunction with the sliding guide rail, allowing the receiving section to move along the first direction A. Thus, the receiving section can be recycled according to receiving needs.

[0047] In some embodiments, each paper tape conveyor is equipped with a corresponding paper tape placement section. The paper tape placement section includes a mounting shaft fixed to the frame and a paper tape placement tray rotatably mounted on the mounting shaft, the tray being used to hold the roll of paper. Thus, each paper tape conveyor has its own dedicated paper tape placement section, making the paper tape supply an independently replaceable module. This not only facilitates operators in quickly changing the appropriate paper tape placement tray for different widths of paper tape, but also allows for independent monitoring and management of the paper tape usage and consumption status of each receiving unit.

[0048] In some embodiments, the paper tape conveying unit further includes a paper tape detector, which is fixed to the frame and used to detect the integrity of the paper tape on the conveying path between the paper tape placement reel and the take-up reel. Thus, the paper tape detector can identify abnormal conditions such as paper tape breakage, depletion, or severe damage in real time. Once an abnormality is detected, an alarm can be triggered immediately or the machine can be stopped. This fundamentally prevents the continued winding of the tape when it is missing or ineffective, thereby avoiding quality accidents caused by the loss of isolation protection, resulting in batch scratches or damage to the entire roll of product, and playing a crucial role in quality protection.

[0049] It should be noted that a paper tape detector refers to any sensing or detection device capable of detecting specific physical states of the paper tape during transmission and outputting corresponding signals. Its core function is to determine whether the paper tape is in a normal, continuous supply state, i.e., "integrity." Those skilled in the art can select the appropriate type based on specific needs.

[0050] Optionally, the paper tape detector can be a sensor based on photoelectric principles, a sensor based on mechanical contact, or a vision-based detection device. Regardless of the specific instrument used, it is configured to: output a "normal" signal (e.g., high level, normally closed contact) when the paper tape is detected to be present and running continuously; and output an "abnormal" signal (e.g., low level, normally open contact) when the paper tape is detected to be broken, used up, excessively loose, or jammed and lost. This signal can be connected to the equipment's control system (e.g., PLC), alarm indicator light, or audible and visual alarm to achieve protective actions such as automatic shutdown and alarm prompts.

[0051] Furthermore, a photoelectric sensor can be a through-beam photoelectric sensor: a transmitter (such as an infrared LED) is placed on one side of the paper tape path, and a receiver is placed at a corresponding position on the other side. When the paper tape passes normally, it blocks the light path, and the receiver signal changes; when the paper tape breaks or is missing paper, the light path is restored, the sensor state reverses, and a signal is triggered.

[0052] Furthermore, sensors based on photoelectric principles can be reflective photoelectric sensors: they can detect reflected light from the surface of the paper tape to detect the presence of the paper tape (presence or absence detection), or monitor its feeding status by identifying markings (such as color marks) on the paper tape.

[0053] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 The frame includes a frame base plate 101, and frame side plates 102 perpendicular to the frame base plate 101 are provided at both ends. A first crossbar 103 spans the top of the frame side plate 102.

[0054] The paper tape placement part is installed on the first crossbar 103;

[0055] The first drive wheel 401, the second drive wheel 402, and the third drive wheel 403 are mounted on the first crossbar 103 and located below the paper tape placement tray 301. An upwardly extending tray support 201 is provided on the frame base plate 101. The take-up tray 202 is rotatably supported on the tray support 201 via bearings. The fourth drive wheel 404 is mounted on the tray support 201 and positioned near the feed side of the take-up tray 202. Thus, the paper tape supply source (paper tape placement tray 301) and the path guiding body (multiple drive wheels) are concentrated in the upper part of the equipment. This layout makes the path of the paper tape from unwinding to initial turning short and concentrated, greatly reducing the hanging section of the paper tape in the air and lowering the risk of deviation due to vibration. Simultaneously, the paper tape naturally hangs down under gravity past the drive wheels, helping to form initial stable tension, achieving structural optimization of function. The entire layout of this embodiment naturally forms functional zones in space: an "upper unwinding and pre-guiding area" and a "lower take-up execution area." The paper tape path transitions naturally from the upper drive wheel assembly (401-403) to the lower fourth drive wheel 404, and then enters the receiving tray. The process is continuous and without redundancy or detours. This layout, which conforms to the logistics direction, is not only highly efficient but also makes the equipment structure clear at a glance.

[0056] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The receiving section may include a receiving tray 202, which includes a shaft and a first disc portion 2021 and a second disc portion 2022 fixedly connected to both ends of the shaft. A fourth transmission wheel 404 is located upstream of the first disc portion 2021 and the second disc portion 2022, or the fourth transmission wheel 404 is located between the first disc portion 2021 and the second disc portion 2022, with both ends of the fourth transmission wheel 404 abutting against the first disc portion 2021 and the second disc portion 2022 respectively. Thus, the fourth transmission wheel 404 can act as a transmission wheel or contact it to restrict the axial movement of the receiving tray 202, rather than preventing its overall deformation.

[0057] Optional, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The receiving section may also include a first drive motor 203, which is located on the frame base plate 101. Thus, each receiving tray 202 has independent driving power and can operate independently.

[0058] Optional, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The material tray support 201 is rotatably mounted on the frame base plate 101. By rotating the material tray support 201, the material receiving tray 202 can be disassembled for material receiving.

[0059] Optional, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The tray support 201 has limit blocks at both the front and rear ends to limit the rotation range of the tray support 201.

[0060] Optional, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The receiving section also includes a first handle 204, which can be used to pull the material tray support 201 for easy operation.

[0061] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The receiving mechanism also includes a material transfer section, which is located upstream of the receiving section. This facilitates the transfer of the material strip output from the upstream production line (such as a stamping machine or testing machine) to the receiving section.

[0062] Optional, see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The material transfer section includes: a conveyor belt 501, with its discharge side located upstream of the receiving section, through which the material strip output from the conveyor belt 501 enters the receiving tray 202; a counter 506 for counting the terminals carried by the material strip on the conveyor belt 501; and a tape cutter 502, including a fixed blade holder fixed to the upper or lower side of the conveyor belt 501, and a movable cutter head driven by a drive cylinder 504 to move toward the fixed blade holder. Thus, the material strip output from the upstream production line (such as a stamping machine or testing machine) can be conveyed to the receiving section via the conveyor belt 501; the counter 506 allows for counting, facilitating the statistical analysis of the winding data; and the tape cutter 502 can cut the tape when there is a problem or when the receiving section is full.

[0063] Optionally, the conveyor belt 501 can be an open conveyor belt with a periodic receiving structure. Specifically, the conveyor belt 501 can be formed by hinged end-to-end of continuously arranged "U"-shaped or "L"-shaped support units, forming a series of upward-facing receiving cells. A conveyor belt feed port 503 is provided below the upstream (feeding end) of the conveyor belt 501. The material belt can enter the conveyor belt feed port 503 from the upstream production line and be pulled into the receiving cells on the conveyor belt 501, so that the material belt is supported and conveyed forward as the conveyor belt runs. The second drive motor 505 drives the conveyor belt to rotate cyclically through the drive wheel, thereby realizing the continuous conveying of the material belt.

[0064] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 4 The paper tape placement section is located on the first crossbar 103 of the frame. The paper tape placement section includes a paper tape placement tray 301, which is used to place roll paper.

[0065] Optionally, the paper tape placement tray 301 is rotatably mounted on the first crossbar 103. Thus, the paper tape placement tray 301 has a certain degree of mobility on the first crossbar 103, facilitating the replacement of the paper roll.

[0066] Furthermore, a second handle 302 is provided on the paper tape placement tray 301. This facilitates pulling or pushing the paper tape placement tray 301.

[0067] It should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to this application. As used herein, the singular form is intended to include the plural form as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Furthermore, it should be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components, and / or combinations thereof.

[0068] For ease of description, directional terms such as "front, back, up, down, left, right," "horizontal, vertical, horizontal," and "top, bottom" generally indicate orientations or positional relationships based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. These terms are used solely for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description. Unless otherwise stated, these directional terms do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this application. The directional terms "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner or outer contours relative to the components themselves. For example, if a device in the drawings is inverted, a device described as "above" or "on top of" other devices or structures will subsequently be positioned as "below" or "under" other devices or structures. Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below." The device may also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relative descriptions used herein are interpreted accordingly.

[0069] Unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, or a communication connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0070] Unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0071] Unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement, numerical expressions, and values ​​of the components and steps described in these embodiments do not limit the scope of this application. It should also be understood that, for ease of description, the dimensions of the various parts shown in the drawings are not drawn to actual scale. Techniques, methods, and devices known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such techniques, methods, and devices should be considered part of the specification. In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters in the following drawings denote similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it need not be further discussed in subsequent drawings.

[0072] It should also be noted that the terms "one embodiment," "another embodiment," or "embodiment" used in this specification refer to specific features, structures, or characteristics described in connection with that embodiment, which are included in at least one embodiment described in the general description of this application. The appearance of the same expression in multiple places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. Furthermore, when a specific feature, structure, or characteristic is described in connection with any embodiment, the intention is to suggest that implementing such a feature, structure, or characteristic in conjunction with other embodiments also falls within the scope of this application.

[0073] In the above embodiments, the descriptions of each embodiment have different focuses. For parts not described in detail in a certain embodiment, please refer to the relevant descriptions in other embodiments.

[0074] It should also be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and do not limit the scope of patent protection of this application. Any equivalent structural or procedural changes made using the content of this application’s specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the scope of patent protection of this application.
